I like it. Except for that one piece that's kinda floating behind on the rear quarter behind the door line. Other than that, looks pretty damn sweet.

Flames look good. I like it. Not crazy about the window flames but I'm guessing you etched that so removing them would mean replacing the glass which is a PITA.

It looks great, it just seems the flames are basic. You did a good job, just need to think outside the box on the flames.

the flames on the window is a tint job. i tried to take the same design from the window to the door, but i didn't like it to much. it seemed to crowded. anyway like i said this was my first paint job and hopefully with more practice i will get better. also i want to thank all of you for your opinions. i will put more shots of the car on probably tom.

I agress with 89KARR. It looks great, but that one little flame on the rear, just doesn't go. I mean if the flames went all the way back then yes, but the stop on the door. Anyways, look good man. Nice job.
